Average time to visit

Tanzania is a large country, with a varied climate. Generally, the long rains run from March to May - the temperature is warm and the humidity is high. June to October is the long dry season, and the short rains are in November and December, much lighter than the long rains. January and February are again dry (the short dry season) so this is another good time to visit.

The Four Seasons Serengeti is a completely different safari experience. It is a fabulous five star hotel in the Serengeti, offering beautiful views, attentive service, fabulous spa and delicious food. It wouldn't suit safari purists, but for those wanting to visit Africa for the first time and maybe don't want to go on two game drives a day as well as not wanting to be with all the comforts that you would expect from an excellent hotel, the Four Seasons is a great option.
